Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the perception of quality of life (QL) of bodybuilders of the social project Academia da Escola Municipal Polo de Educação Integrada. A total of 74 bodybuilders enrolled in the project participated in the study, 63 female and 11 male, age 46,72 ± 12,90 years, divided into two groups: bodybuilding group (BG) with 37 participants and bodybuilding group associated with other physical exercise (BGPE) with 37 participants. The abbreviated version of the WHOQOL questionnaire was used to evaluate the quality of life and a demographic questionnaire to characterize the sample. Statistical procedures were calculated using the SPSS®, version 21.0. The results showed for general health perception, for most practitioners of the social project were a good QL. For the analysis of the perception of the QL, the modality practiced did not interfere. The BGPE reached higher mean values in all domains compared to the BG group, with a significant difference for social domain (p=0,027) and psychological domain (p=0,004). When comparing the intragroup dimensions, all presented significant differences (p=0,001). Thus, in the BGPE group and in the BG group, the social domain (74,94) presented statistically the highest mean value, followed by the physical (73,24) and psychological (61,94). The environmental domain had the lowest mean value for both groups. It is concluded that the practice of bodybuilding contributes to a good perception of the quality of life of participants in a social project. Resistance training is able to contribute to the quality of life in social, physical and psychological domains. The study has great importance for the construction of public policies related to the incentive to practice physical exercise and improve the quality of life
